Quest for Orthologs meeting (QfO9)
August 29-30, 2026, Lausanne
LAST CALL: abstract submissions for talks and posters.
Submission deadline: June 1st, 2026
Registration deadline: July 1st, 2026

Keynote Speakers: Erich Bornberg-Bauer (University of Munster), Katharina Hoff (University of Greifswald), Ekaterina Osipova (Harvard University), Lucy J. Colwell (University of Cambridge, Google).
The QfO Consortium addresses key challenges in molecular evolutionary biology and strives to develop large-scale methods for inferring orthology among fully sequenced genomes, and to reconstruct the complement of protein-coding genes in common ancestral genomes across the tree of life. The QfO meetings aim to bring together researchers around the world who work in the field to accelerate progress through sharing of ideas, methods, and research findings.
QfO 9 will take place ahead of ECCB 2026 (both in Switzerland). Travel awards for early-career researchers are available.
Best regards,
QfO 9 organizing committee
